And sometimes they’re completely uncovered. That’s apparently the case with one of the newest islands: Nudie Beach. And here’s a picture!

Don’t worry: it may sound scandalous, but it’s all rather tame. So there’s no need to wait until after work — you can visit Nudie Beach right now.

So if you haven’t played for a while, you really should go back — and the best new reason for visiting Big Zombie Country is Brainball!

In Brainball you’re given a certain number of brains to hide strategically in your town. Then, you send zombies to other players’ towns and swipe their brains. But watch out — other players are coming for your brains, too! You’ll compete with players from across the globe — not just your friends, but a group of people that are matched up with you based on your progress in the game. It’s a fun new addition to PvZ Adventures, and it also gives you the opportunity to see what the competition is like from the zombie’s point of view.

Don’t believe me? Just go read The Phantom Tollbooth — the Doldrums are rarely a good place to be.

But that’s all changing, thanks to Solitaire Blitz on Facebook. The Doldrums are the latest island discovery in Solitaire Blitz — filled with treasures, fish friends and fast-paced card-game action. So don’t be afraid to be down in the Doldrums — it’s actually really fun. Go play Solitaire Blitz and see for yourself.

We just opened the doors for everyone to come play Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.

PvZ Adventures is an ever-expanding world with new ways to play PvZ. What does that mean? It means now zombies go off the grid — they won’t just take straight lines to get your brains, they’ll take any zig-zagging way possible. It’s up to you to stop them. And it’s not just your yard you’re fighting in… it’s all of Big Zombie Country! In town, you’ll need to grow plants, defend your turf, take back the town from the zombies and build up what the zombies have un-built. Then, you’ll head out to the country on a zombie-zapping Road Trip with new worlds, new zombies and many ridiculous things.

Since it’s on Facebook, we made sure there are lots of ways to interact with your friends. Send a zombie to invade their town. Send a nice gift just to be nice. Or, just see how your stack of zombies ranks on the leaderboards.

There’s a ton of stuff to do, many sights to see, and lots of fun to find in PvZ Adventures. I could keep writing about it, but this is the point where I tell you to watch the game trailer and go play. So: watch the video, share with your friends, then go play!

Oh, and click the button at the end of the video and you’ll get 250 free coins to get started.

We hope you love the new game!

Reluctant Editor’s Note: For those of you who’ve read this far and are wondering: “Is this PvZ 2?” No, it’s not… that game is coming very soon! But, instead of sitting around waiting and asking for that, go get your zombie-zapping fix on Facebook. Yes, really.

That’s why we decided to grace you on this beautiful Friday with a few little poems inspired by PopCap characters. Some are sprinkled with PopCap joy, while others are burning with existential angst. Each of us wrote one, and we are all extremely proud of them.

And if you have one of your own to share, add them in the comments section. Because, at least for today, we love haiku!
